The medical admission process for the current academic year in Karnataka has officially concluded. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) announced that the state has successfully filled every single available medical seat through the NEET-UG counselling process.
Final Stray Vacancy Round Sees Full Occupancy
This finality comes after the last stray vacancy round, which aimed to fill the few remaining seats. Eight seats were vacant across three private medical colleges before this final round. These institutions were MVJ Medical College in Hoskote, MR Medical College in Kalaburagi, and SDM Medical College located in Dharwad. The KEA confirmed that all these eight seats have now been allotted to eligible candidates, ensuring a 100% seat occupancy rate for the state's medical quota.
Important Deadline for Selected Candidates
With the allotment process complete, the focus now shifts to the candidates. Students who have received seats in this final round must act swiftly. The authority has set a strict reporting deadline. All candidates are required to report to their respective allotted colleges by December 30. Failure to report by this date will likely result in the forfeiture of the allocated seat.
Conclusion of a Major Academic Process
The completion of the NEET-UG counselling marks the end of a lengthy and competitive process for thousands of aspiring medical students in Karnataka. The KEA's announcement brings closure to the admission cycle, allowing colleges to finalize their student rosters and begin academic preparations. For candidates, it signals the final step in securing their position in a medical program for the 2024-25 academic year.
